{Banana.Nut.Bread} “Half-Baked”

I LoVe banana-nut bread.  LoVe It!  I don’t think I would put it in my top 3 favorites, but it’s up there.  However, when it comes to waiting for it to come out of the oven it tops ALL.  I just can’t help but to keep opening up the oven door, checking to see if itContinue reading “{Banana.Nut.Bread} “Half-Baked””

Honey Or Vinegar?

Ok, so sometimes it’s the ElemEntArY TrUtHs we need to be reminded of the most.  This is something I talk to my kids about frequently.  And they talk to me about it, as well!! We like to compare the words we speak to HoNeY and ViNeGaR.  There’s a Proverb that says: “Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweetContinue reading “Honey Or Vinegar?”

{Let The Holidays Begin!!}

Tonight Lara’s family and my family hung out together.  It’s TrAdiTioN.  We’ve been doing this on October 31st ever since we met back in 2009. I’m not into Halloween, but I really am into ThanKsgiVinG AnD ChriStmAs!!  In fact, tomorrow is the first official day of the HoLiDaYs (according to me).   I actually saw my first ChristmasContinue reading “{Let The Holidays Begin!!}”

It’s Called {Life}

From time to time I do a CoOkiNg shOw on our local cable channel.  Because I live in a small town (pop. about 9,000) the viewing audience is relatively small.  The last show I did featured home-made AppLe bUttEr and PoPcoRn BaLLs.  The popcorn balls were a recipe my dad would make when I was a KiD.  BecauseContinue reading “It’s Called {Life}”

ThAt WaS AwKwArD!!

“Hello, My Name is Robynn and I’m a GeEk.”  (Is there a support group for this sort of thing?) I remember telling my students that I was a geek and they would immediately come to my defense saying, “Oh, no!  You are not a geek, Ms. Hofer!”  But I ReAllY aM.  (Thanks students for the vote ofContinue reading “ThAt WaS AwKwArD!!”

{Mexican Jumping Beans!!}

A few months ago my husband had a business trip and picked these guys up at one of the AiPpOrT sHoPs.  When he held them out to my girls and they began to “JuMp” my first response was, “What’s the catch?”   Turns out there is no catch.  They actually do “jump”, as there is aContinue reading “{Mexican Jumping Beans!!}”

{Ba-Wog}

“I’m taking pictures for my Ba-WoG (blog)” my 3-year old told me as she walked around the house snapping shots with an old camera. Kids just love to ImitAtE Mom and Dad, whether it be dressing up in their clothes, playing house, or talking on a cell phone.  It actually is quite cute seeing a littleContinue reading “{Ba-Wog}”
